1/2. We are super excited to share our latest publication in @NatureComms, which identifies a new family of cell wall crosslinking enzymes broadly conserved in many bacteria: rdcu.be/dyypa

2/2. This study was the result of a fantastic collaboration between our friends at the @BerntssonLab @mateusLab @TypasLab @savitski_lab @sourjik and the @CavaLab_MIMS @FelipecavaM at @mims_umea @umeauniversity @Ucmr_sweden @embl @NordicEMBL @KAWstiftelsen @scilifelab

1/2. We are super excited to share our latest publication, which identifies a new role for D-amino acids in Vibrio cholerae chemotaxis: nature.com/articles/s4156…

Thomas Delerue's paper (>5 yrs in the making!) on a developmental checkpoint during bacterial cell surface morphogenesis is out online in @Dev_Cell! cell.com/developmental-… Check out his 2 min video explaining our model: #supplementaryMaterial" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cell.com/developmental-…

Bacteria from the Neisseriaceae family come in different shapes and flavors. Check out our new preprint, that describe some buccal symbionts with a strange way of dividing ()()()().@inrsciences A team work with @bulgheresi_s, @BrunLabCaulo @FelipecavaM. researchsquare.com/article/rs-120…

Our paper on lytic transglycosylases out in @eLife! Dispelling myths about LTG physiological role in a great collaboration with @CavaLab_MIMS. As a side note (unsurprising, but heretofore not firmly established): LTGs are indeed essential for viability. elifesciences.org/articles/73178

What do we know about peptidoglycan editing in intracellular Salmonella?journals.plos.org/plospathogens/… This work has been the result of a fantastic collaboration with our friends from the Garcia del Portillo "twitter-less" lab at the CNB in Spain.😉💪@mims_umea @CNB_CSIC @smcastanheira

El grupo de @portillo_lab del #CNB en colaboración con @CavaLab_MIMS identifica un nuevo mecanismo de evasión inmune de #Salmonella específico del ambiente intracelular en el que se desarrolla bit.ly/3B2T5gD El artículo de @PLOSPathogens: bit.ly/3Gqsz1C

We are thrilled to share this amazing work about undecaprenyl-phosphate recycling translocases: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We are delighted to be part of this collaboration with the #WaldorLab @sit_brandon @JeepSrisuknimit @HHMINEWS @HarvardMicro @mims_umea @UmeaUniversity

Look who's on the cover of @Dev_Cell:the humble soil bacterium #Bacillus subtilis,in the act of sporulating,depicted using marbles and wooden blocks! Our paper tackles a ~50 yr old mystery of how the cell coordinates assembly of 2 supramolecular structures:sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Happy to share my latest work in @MarioFeldman9 lab . We discovered a bifunctional PGase effector in A. baumannii that can digest the CW of both Gram (-) and (+) bacteria. Big thanks to co-author @JuvenalLopez20 and collaborators at @FelipecavaM lab. pnas.org/content/118/40…

Very excited to finally share our last paper by @lenghung8825 and @JuvenalLopez20 , in collaboration with @FelipecavaM lab. Killing of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria by a bifunctional cell wall-targeting T6SS effector pnas.org/content/118/40…

It is out! 🥳 New publication of the Cava lab @CavaLab_MIMS @mims_umea @eLife about temperature-dependent regulation of biofilm in V. cholerae in collaboration with the Frederick lab (Ohio state); the Waldor lab (Harvard) and the Benes lab @embl. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33588990/
